Giving & Receiving Feedback Training
Master the art of meaningful feedback and create a culture where growth conversations feel natural, constructive, and empowering. This hands-on workshop equips leaders and teams with the tools and confidence to give and receive feedback effectively—without fear, defensiveness, or confusion.
Feedback Training Workshop Overview
Whether your team avoids giving feedback altogether or struggles with sugarcoating and unclear messaging, this session offers a practical and psychologically safe environment to elevate communication and accountability within your team, and, with time, across your organization’s culture.
Giving and Receiving Feedback Training Learning Outcomes
- Give Feedback Without Triggering Defensiveness
Use emotionally intelligent frameworks to communicate clearly and as objectively as possible while maintaining empathy.
- Separate Intent from Impact
Understand the gap between what’s meant and what’s felt—and how to bridge it with different individuals.
- Receive Feedback Without Taking It Personally
Build resilience and develop a growth mindset that favors curiosity over justification, defense, and shutting down.
- Practice, Reflect, and Apply
Engage in realistic roleplays and coaching-style debriefs to solidify learning and build comfort with day-to-day implementation.
“Feedback is not just about the content of what’s being said. It’s about the relationship, the identity, and the emotional triggers it activates.” — Sheila Heen, co-author of Thanks for the Feedback
Why It Matters
Poor feedback processes stall team growth, reduce trust, and lead to misalignment.
Great feedback unlocks innovation, nurtures high performance, and makes people feel seen and valued.
Research consistently shows that teams who practice effective, emotionally intelligent feedback experience greater psychological safety, improved collaboration, and stronger engagement (Edmondson, 1999; Kluger & DeNisi, 1996; Gallup, 2022). Our feedback workshop will get you there.
Why Humessence?
We go beyond slide decks—our workshops use real-life scenarios, roleplays, and reflective coaching techniques that get people talking, thinking, and applying concepts immediately.
Participants walk away with clear, repeatable frameworks they can use in their very next feedback conversation—no fluff, just practical tools that work in real teams.
Our training is grounded in emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and communication research from thought leaders like Douglas Stone, Sheila Heen, and Amy Edmondson, ensuring your team learns what actually moves the needle.
Feedback is a core leadership skill. This workshop helps participants develop the confidence and mindset needed to lead with clarity, empathy, and accountability.
By mastering the delivery and reception of feedback, your team will experience fewer misunderstandings, more productive dialogue, and increased psychological safety.
When feedback flows freely and constructively, collaboration thrives. This workshop cultivates mutual respect and shared ownership across roles and departments.
